One year ago this week, two grand juries in Texas declined to indict Deshaun Watson on any charges related to the multiple women who alleged Watson had committed sexual assault or sexual misconduct while they were trying to administer massages to the then-Houston Texans quarterback.
Bisciotti and other team owners are apparently still peeved that Browns owner Jimmy Haslam broke ranks to guarantee Watson's deal. That is not now, nor has it ever been or ever will be Lamar Jackson's problem.
If he has told Bisciotti and general manager Eric DeCosta that, as a league MVP who is more talented than Watson with none of the baggage, he deserves the same deal if not a little better, he is 100% correct. If the owner class is salty with Haslam, don't invite him to whatever ludicrous Michelin-chef-catered-yacht- party-in-St.-Tropez they have planned for April and stop taking it out on Jackson and other players.
Of course, all of this should have been expected: the writing has long been on the wall, but if last week'sshowed us anything, it's that a not-small number of these team owners don't actually care about winning, at least not on the field. They care about their own wealth, period. There's nothing in the collective bargaining agreement that says every contract cannot be fully guaranteed. Team owners just refuse to do it, and will seemingly do everything they can to ensure it does not become the norm. There's also nothing stopping them from ending the current rule that requires teams to put all guaranteed contract monies, in cash, into an escrow account .
